Description

A postcard containing a portrait image of Eagle Cliff and Profile Lake, Franconia Notch, White Mountains. The image is in color. Typical postcard back without writing. Contains information about postcard subject: EAGLE CLIFF AND PROFILE LAKE. Looming gigantically over Profile Lake is a huge columnar crag, which rises perpendicularly with jagged rocks and seems ready to topple from its place to wide spread ruin beneath. It was once chosen for an eyry for a pair of eagles and hence its name. Its lofty crags, rising from a bed of deepest green, formed by luxuriant birches and vines, furnish an enchanting view and make it a place of wonderous attraction.
